halloween (alkaline trio)

*I believe he sings "in groves" when he should be singing 

"in droves." Or, perhaps I have the wrong lyrics.  "In Groves" is 

appropriate, considering the spiritual significance.*   

Bonfires burning bright
pumpkin faces in the night
I remember Halloween

dead cats hanging from poles
little dead are out in droves
I remember Halloween

brown leafed vertigo
where skeletal life is known
I remember Halloween

this day anything goes
burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember Halloween

Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween

candy apples and razor blades
little dead are soon in graves
I remember Halloween

this day anything goes
burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember 

Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween . . .

arms open wide

When I left you this morning
I started crying--
your life should not be like this
when I walked out the door
I left you
to fend for yourself

another day
another death march
another pointless exercise
in walking, talking and breathing

how many years can you go on
facing such bleak prospects
how many times can you
lick your wounds
what happens when the wounds
refuse to heal

when death comes calling
I fear you won't run and hide
when death comes calling
I see you running
arms open wide.
